The JT-Blaze, he boasts, obviously stands for strait fire which he smokes, and also it represents the way he spit’s lyrically


Born and raised in a small town in Menifee, California, JT-Blaze has always had an infatuation with music and hip hop. JT-Blaze first started rapping in the 5th grade, and originally developed his skills free styling on a daily basis along with writing his own lyrics to songs he heard on the radio as a young boy. He states he would remix the lyrics into his own personal songs, which helped developed his creativity and skills as a lyricist. . As JT-Blaze grew up, he continued to refine his skills until he started performing free styles in front of friends and family at his highschool, (Paloma Valley High School) and eventually developed the rap name JT-Blaze. Jake, (what friends and family refer to him as when using his first name) explains that JT stands for his first and middle name (Jacob Troy) and he use’s his middle initial because of his love for the USC Trojans (FIGHTON!!!) and his love for his hometown/region in southern California. The Blaze, he boasts, obviously stands for strait fire which he smokes, and also it represents the way he spit’s lyrically. Furthermore, it also resembles his mentality of staying high until his death.
